Description
In today’s knowledge economy, healthcare generates massive amounts of highly sensitive data ranging from genomic data to medical records that are central for clinical knowledge discovery and decision making. However, storage and sharing of these health data has led to several challenges most notably around ownership, privacy, data breaches and data theft. Intelligent digital transformation of healthcare is required to overcome these challenges by storing and sharing such health data responsibly and securely. In recent years, blockchain, particularly private blockchain, has been explored as a technology to address some of these issues in various industries. Blockchain developments in the healthcare sector are still very nascent. To address this key void, we proffer a generic private blockchain platform for healthcare to address the growing data challenges. We adopt the design science research methodology in our work. In this paper, we present our proffered model and the proposed blockchain architecture.

A Suggested Blockchain Architecture for Healthcare Data Sharing
In today’s knowledge economy, healthcare generates massive amounts of highly sensitive data ranging from genomic data to medical records that are central for clinical knowledge discovery and decision making.

Intelligent digital transformation of healthcare is required to overcome these challenges by storing and sharing such health data responsibly and securely.
